15 Mar Julieta Lasarte
Residency period: January-February 2020
“To inhabit means to leave a trace. Moments lived for six decades now coexist simultaneously, bringing together people who still live with those who are no longer here. Different times in the same now. The living with the dead. A will to perpetuate, to preserve. Resistance to death, oblivion to the passage of time. There is an inner belief that by representing something, you preserve it; create an illusion that they continue to live.”
“Trying to generate a three-dimensionality from the light register is a utopian exercise of rescuing time and materiality. A simulation that aims to question the entire temporal visibility order imposed upon us.”

At her first open studios, Julieta presents the first sketch of a major project in which she works with her own home cinema archive. Combining records from different eras and formats that occur in the same place, it helps the artist to develop a deep concept about time and absence.

In her second month Julieta presents the video installation Memories of a Porch, a piece elaborated as a palimpsest. Three projections show us the background of a family house. They are images of her own home cinema, shot in different decades and formats, filmed all in the same space.
